How to import sbt projects to Eclipse?


I want to import my sbt projects to Eclipse. While searching on the Internet I came to know there is an sbteclipse plugin for Eclipse to import sbt projects, but I don't know how to do this.

I am using Eclipse Kelper and sbt 0.13 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.


Solution

  • tl;dr Use Scala IDE for Eclipse.

    sbteclipse is a plugin for sbt itself and aims to "create Eclipse project definitions" that in turn doesn't require installing any plugins in Eclipse.

    sbt is a build tool while Eclipse is an IDE. While both use the concept of plugins these plugins have nothing in common (unless you're at higher architecture level where almost all converges).
